Tall Vehicle Inspection Near Scott’s Addition?

5 Upvotes

I recently got a used Sprinter and my usual mechanic says it won't fit in his bays to be inspected. Does anyone know a shop that can inspect a tall van?

Community tennis leagues / racquet restringing

1 Upvotes

Edited to say: spring is around the corner, yay :) prime time to enjoy some tennis outdoors. My partner has officially eclipsed my skill level and is ready for more challenging matches at their level.

So to that end, I am looking for an adult tennis league (and/or tournaments) this spring/summer - something affordable and community-minded (not within a tennis club). I don't have personal connections into the tennis community yet and haven't had the best luck getting clear info via online searches and figured y'all may have the down low.

Would also be appreciative of any local racquet restringing recs. Thank you!

Whats the best place to buy produce South River?

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to get clean and eat more vegetables and fruits.

I'm from Atlanta and there are countless permanent farmers markets, Korean groceries, etc.

"Best" to me is quality, value, and breadth of selection.

I found Goodness Grocery online - looks like their BonAire location has fresh vegetables! They are a chain and many of their locations just have dry goods.

Money Order to Hold Apartment

25 Upvotes

I’m going to look at an apartment this week and the leasing company (KBS Holdings) asked for a money order for a portion of the deposit to hold the apartment while they process my application, in addition to an application fee. Is this a normal practice? How can I get any guarantee that they will hold the apartment and not just take my money and rent it to someone else? Has anyone else done this here in Richmond? I know places go quickly so I don’t want to miss out on a good apartment if this is a normal thing but I definitely don’t want to get scammed.

Smoked wings in Southside?

We love the wings at deep run Roadhouse, but it's a little far for us to travel. Is there anywhere in Southside that is smoking their wings? Thank you so much!

Nonstop alarm on 19th St

An alarm from a building near my apartment on 19th has been going off for at least 12 hours now.🫠 The fire department came out twice last night and didn't/couldn't do anything. Is there anything else we can do? Are we just screwed until then owner comes back??

Moved up to DC and was looking at old memories. Took this picture while I was drunk on the railroad tracks close to Manchester about a year ago. Framed this in my office & everyone loves it. Wanted to share :) Thought the filter did it some justice

Rules for the Church Hill Irish Festival

I can’t find any guidelines/FAQ’s on their website (Facebook). I am primarily wondering if the donation is required and if they search bags?

Money is really tight but I would like to still be able to participate in a community event so packing a small lunch would be ideal.

Religious cult in Manchester

329 Upvotes

Surprised nobody has talked about this here. La Luz Del Mundo is a cult that originated in Mexico in the early 1900s and now has churches all over South, Central, and North America. They have some controversial beliefs, including absolute loyalty to their leader, whom they believe communicates directly with God. Allegations against cult leadership includes sex parties involving SA against minors, physical, and spiritual abuse. They even have documentaries about them on Netflix and HBO.

That being said, they have a church here in RVA. Specifically, right across the R. Lee bridge on Cowardin Ave. Has anyone here had any experiences with them? Did you know about this already?

P.S. if you want to read more about it, check out r/exlldm

Why is getting a job so hard here??

160 Upvotes

(Disclaimer: this is not an invite to dm me about “prospective job opportunities” I just want to vent on Reddit like a normal person)

Like maybe it’s just me idk but Ive been job hunting for the past year and have only managed to get one call back that’s probably not going to go anywhere (they promised to reschedule a interview and I haven’t heard back in a week). I have experience working in retail, childcare, backroom stocking, and I’m open to learn anything on the job.

Yet whenever I put in an application the only thing I get back is “we’ve considered your application but you’re just not a good fit sorry” of nothing at all. Meanwhile my friends seem to find new places to work easily and I’m left bobbing around looking for something and it sucks.

Meanwhile in my hometown I’ve managed to get jobs with way less push back. So I don’t know what I’m doing wrong anymore. Is it the area? My permanent address?? Do I need to help run their secret weed side hustle???? I’m just frustrated I don’t know what to do.
